(See Comment).įukunaga, who has established a name with his harshly compelling Central American immigrant tale “Sin Nombre,” might have been the wrong director for such an essentially romantic text. There was also a good TV version in 1971, with George C. If memory serves, two of the most popular renditions were directed by Robert Stevenson in 1944 (with Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine) and by Franco Zeffirelli in 1996 (starring William Hurt and Charlotte Gainsbourg). Over the past century, there have been at least a dozen versions of Bronte’s dramatic novel, which was published in 1847, both for the big-screen and for the small-screen. The new screen version of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel, Jane Eyre, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and scripted by Moira Buffini, is a stark, spare, passable but unexciting adaptation.
